Its open architecture offers the flexibility you need in today’s digital environment.

Scope

19 companies, one ticketing system

Along with the implementation of a regional ITCS system in the German state of Saxony, a complete sales technology upgrade was required by 19 companies of the two public transport associations: the VVO organization for the Oberelbe region, and the ZVON organization for the Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien region. The new INIT solution enables the sale of all tickets for the regions served by both associations. A particular benefit for commuters who use services in both districts. Plus, the equipment supports scanning and reading of electronic tickets. And fare changes can be implemented easily in a matter of hours.

The next generation of fare collection & revenue management

With account-based fare systems, the intelligence is stored in the back office system where transactions are managed in real time. The travel media contains only the unique ID referring to the customer account, in which all balances and products are stored centrally.
